I just received a phone call that someone is trying to hack into my apple account. The phone number is different than any for Apple support. I did not give any information. Is there a way to find out if my account has been hacked?

How do I find out if someone is trying to hack into my Apple account?

Apple does not make such calls.

All such calls are scams from criminals attempting to steal your personal and financial information. The callers will often use number spoofing to pretend they are calling from a legitimate business. The correct course of action is to ignore the calls or hang up on them, repeatedly if needed.
